    Photography was beautiful

    My husband and I stumbled upon David Paul photography about 2 years ago. We saw some of his pictures online and we decided to give him a call. He drove an hour to meet with us and show us his portfolio. He was kind and his work was outstanding. We didn’t really need to meet with any other photographers. We knew he was going to be the one we used! He shot our engagement photos and they turned out spectacular. He was so quick to getting us our edited photos and during the shoot his creativity was great. David also shot a boudoir shoot for me so that I could give my husband a wedding gift. A lot of women may be hesitant to have a man shoot their boudoir but David was extremely professional and never made me feel uncomfortable. The day of our wedding, he was so flexible and made sure to get all of the pictures that we had requested. My husband and I just got married 2 days ago and we already have 30 edited images. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. His creativity, professionalism, thoroughness, attention to detail, and his personality are so wonderful. Thank you so much David for being a part of our special day!

    Fantastic Photography!

    Look no further for a wedding photographer! David was very easy to communicate with for booking and giving us suggestions for wedding day photos we might want to take. Sarah was our photographer for our small backyard wedding (September 12,2020). She is truly amazing at what she does and great to work with! Our favorite wedding vendor BY FAR. Amazing photos, and a quick turn around time!

    Wonderful experience!

    I have had the extreme privilege and pleasure of working with David Paul Photography on two separate occasions, my sister’s wedding and my daughter’s wedding. David was attentive to the needs and wants of the bride and groom during both occasions. He has a very keen eye for beautiful, unique photographs and takes the time to make sure the moments that make memories are captured for a lifetime. I could not be more pleased with my experience or the results. If you want an experience with a photographer that is as memorable as your photos, David Paul Photography is the clear choice!

    The PERFECT Choice for Our Wedding Photography

    David is the ultimate professional. He made everyone feel at ease, captured the candid moments and artistically arranged the formal shots for our wedding. He was incredibly responsive throughout the planning process. Not to mention our photos were ready in one week! He captured the emotions of the moments and made sure things ran smoothly. He was also incredibly kind and generous with our videographer - our 12 year old nephew who was so excited to video the wedding. David is a master of lighting - finding beautiful backgrounds and backlight to create the perfect shots. The pictures were beyond my wildest hopes. He is talented, dedicated, and above all, kind. It was an honor to work with him!!

    Awesome experience! Worth every penny!!

    David did an amazing job as the photographer at my daughter Erica's wedding Aug 31,2019. He was very professional and was the hardest working photographer I've ever seen. The photos are gorgeous. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!!
    He's also very personable and great to work with.

    Superior Photos and an All-Around Great Guy

    David was the perfect person to have on my wedding day. He was incredibly calm and professional, perfectly accommodating, and knew exactly what kind of pictures to take. Having the photography in his hands gave me peace of mind that I would have the best pictures to remember my wedding, and I was not disappointed!

    Sarah with David Paul Photography shot my wedding along with her husband. I could not be happier with the experience. Sarah was kind, flexible and responsive to our needs. She made sure she understood what was important to the both of us and delivered on it completely. Although also a very fine photographer, David Paul excels in the business end of this company. He provided a thorough explanation of their services and fees. I was made comfortable at every turn in the planning and execution of their services.

    I recommend choosing David Paul Photography for your event.

    David Paul photography is DEFINTELY the way to go! He worked with us every step of the way! Was very helpful and his main goal was to make sure we had the day that we always dreamed about! I can't even begin to say how pleasant he was to be around, it wasn't awkward at all. Both him and his assistant Brian did an AMAZING job with our pictures! I could not be more happy with them! They're better then i could have ever imagined!

    David and Jessica were both very professional and wonderful to work with. David was our lead photographer and from the start was very hands on and communicated with us throughout the months leading up to the wedding about what we were looking for, how we wanted our pictures, etc. His photographer packages are very reasonably priced and he has such an amazing eye for taking such beautiful pictures. I was very impressed with how involved he was with our wedding, even wanting to meet us at our ceremony/venue location to give suggestions for were we should take photos which was extremely helpful so on the big day we weren’t running around trying to find the perfect shots since we already had them planned. My wedding photos are extremely beautiful and have received tons of compliments on them. David is extremely nice and goes out of his way to make sure you love each and every photo that was taken. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to capture our big day.

    Upon our first meeting, my husband and I knew David was the photographer for us! He knows everything there is to know about what he does and is so easy to get along with. We were fortunate enough to have an engagement session with David so we could get to know each other a little before the wedding. Not only did this give us an opportunity to get comfortable with each other, but the engagement pictures were so amazing! Our family and friends couldn't stop cooing over them. Then, on the day of the wedding, David put us so much at ease. He was so calm and collected the whole day even though things weren't always as organized as they should have been! Our guests commented many times how David and his assistant Dana were wonderful and so unobtrusive. Some of them didn't even know they were there, which was so refreshing after being at some weddings where the photographers were in the way the entire time. Any family pictures/maternity pictures/baby pictures to come in the future.. David will be our guy. He's simply the best!

    David and Heather did a beautiful job on our wedding. David is very professional and definitely is well worth the money. He out of his way to make sure we were happy every step of the way. He keeps me updated and is still in touch with me. I would definitely use him again for any pictures I need taken. Not only is it his professionalism that I love but our pictures are absolutely beautiful. He is the first and only photographer I met with and would do it all over again if I had too. He was friendly with all of my family and friends and worked very well with us and everyone at our wedding. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone.

    David and his assistant, Dana, were great to work with! David was very flexible with our schedules and worked with us! He gave us a free engagement shoot which helped us understand his style and to see what we loved. He shot over 500 pictures that we get to keep! No copyrights with him. He also made us a DVD slideshow which was amazing. Our family and friends love it! He also made us 3 photobooks for ourselves and our parents. These are top quality, we love them! David has a great personality and is so easy to work with! I would recommend him to everyone!!!

    Incredibly happy with every aspect of working with David Paul Photography! He was so on top of the communication and details, offering relevant suggestions throughout the planning process. Before and after the event, he was very responsive and thoroughly answered all questions. The photos were stunning and he was super friendly and made my entire wedding party feel very comfortable throughout the day. I was also able to have all the edited, unwatermarked final photos at the end, which is huge! He also offers custom-designed quality albums, hand-bound in Italy, which makes for a very nice keepsake. I definitely recommend hiring David if you want a photographer who demonstrates that he cares!

    Shared a Pinterest board with him months ahead of time with very detailed photos. On the day of the wedding, we also provided a specific list of shots we wanted of the two of us in addition to shots of the family. Half of the family shots someone is looking away or adjusting their tie, many of the list of the bride and groom shots were completely missed. As far as the pictures themselves? You know what they say, If you can't do it right, do it in black and white!

    Professionalism and communication were great before the wedding and during. When confronted about the photo quality and the missed photos, he refused to take any responsibility- saying it was our fault that we decided not to have a second shooter and that our family was too large (we had 75 people at the wedding). Since he knew what photos we wanted months ahead of time, if he couldn't do the shots we wanted, I feel we should have been informed.

    After an hour-long discussion he finally gave us a meagre refund of under 15%. If you can, please shop around before paying his high prices! The Album Epoca books are nice, but he's not the only photographer who offers them. Detailed shots that should be standard in a $3000 photographer were not there, professionalism was not there, quality of service overall was mediocre at best.
